The balancing powers and mood-calming effects of CBD and hemp are no mystery at this point, and we like what we’ve tried so far. It’s great to see CBD-infused body oils, snacks, and beverages at grocery stores and wellness shops: it’s is available in many forms; drops that you add to your morning smoothie, tea, or coffee; as a serum-based massage or facial add-on; in chocolate, gummies, bagged snacks, drinks, and joints.

With so many options out there, we thought we’d break a few of them down for you. Here’s what you can expect from the five CBD beverage brands below.
01. Recess | $39.99 per 8-Pack
Recess infuses American Ginseng in their drinks because it helps you focus and enhances memory. L-theanine is for its stress-easing and mood-brightening capabilities, and hemp extract is for mind-calming and body-centering. Recess has 25 calories and 6g of sugar per can as well as a short list of organic and/or natural ingredients. Recess’ flavors include Blackberry Chai, Peach Ginger, and Pomegranate Hibiscus, and they offer a sample pack in case you just can’t choose.
02. MAD TASTY | $30 per 6-Pack
Mad Tasty drinks have 2g carbs and 15 cals per can with no added (or naturally occurring) sugars. They also partner with DROP4DROP: for every 12 ounces sold, the brand donates 12 ounces of clean drinking water to people and places in need. Mad Tasty’s flavors include watermelon kiwi and grapefruit, both featuring 20MG of hemp extract.
03. Little saints mocktail | $27 for 4-pack
Do you like the taste of a paloma on a warm summer day and the way the salty citrus hits your tongue? This natural, sugar-free and plant-based mocktail is powered by fast-acting, clean, nano-emulsified CBD, uplifting botanical terpenes, and reishi mushroom extract. That powerful plant magic "stack" makes you feel good naturally, and no, it doesn't make you high. The CBD in this product is less than 0.03% THC by volume and is fully federally legal.
4 — DRAM — $49 per 12-Pack
DRAM’s sparkling water is infused with 20mg CBD and adaptogens. It’s crafted from clean ingredients, and their CBD-infused drinks are made from organic plants, contain zero calories, are gluten-free, and contain no unnatural flavors. Their range includes Beauty Bubbles (Bilberry and Rose Petal), Lemongrass, ginger grass, and North American sweetgrass. View a product page to check out all of the adaptogens added to their waters and their potential benefits.
5 — VYBES — $48 per 6-Pack
Drink options from VYBES range from blackberry hibiscus and blueberry mint to burning mandarin, peach ginger, strawberry lavender, and Honeycrisp apple basil. One bottle contains 25 calories, 4g of sugar, 25mg of CBD, and 30mg of caffeine. The brand says, “VYBES isn't a beverage, it's a feeling. A way to a more balanced life… For too long, we've ignored the physical and emotional toll that living in this fast-paced, chaotic world is causing on our well-being. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020, stress and anxiety will become the number one cause of disease in young people. That's striking and unacceptable. Modern medicine isn't always the answer. A change in lifestyle is. CBD is a non-psychoactive gift from mother nature.”
See how they stack up. Have a relaxing day.
